  • On this episode, we take my crusty old 1943 Willys MB jeep and make her look like she is ready to storm the beaches of Normandy again.
    With help from Ron Fitzpatrick jeep parts, and my trusty Eastwood paint run, I do my best to return this piece of American military history to its proper shine. Is it perfect? No! But this old girl spent 80 years building character through bumps and bruises, and I wanted to let her keep them.
    Paint Used.

    This is also available in rattle cans, and it matches perfectly to the bulk paint.
    This is the Eastwood paint gun I used. I think its a really good mid tier option for the hobbyist.

    Oh..... and we get out and rip around in the dirt too!

      Getting better. I let the screen get too dark trying to fight my ceiling lights.

      Funny, I actually saw that. I went into a Tractor Supply the other day to get some hog rings for a new video I'm working on with my 62 wagon. They had one out front.

    You can get reproduction combat wheels from MD Juan in the Philippines along with any other parts

      That is true. I’m probably going to sell this old girl so that will be up to future owners. The fun for me with this one was the rescue.

    Ron Fitzpatrick has combat rims
    Avoid MD Juan ones.

      Yeah, that’s probably going to be for a future owner. RFJP is awesome though.
